Hi, First, I've been running cygwin for a couple years on my XP machine with no problems. I have startxwin.bat startup with windows. Then a couple weeks ago, my xterm window stops opening (though X is still starting fine). I can open xterm from the command line fine.
So I start looking into the startxwin.bat file. By editing the run xterm command I can get it to open up an xterm....it turns out that one of the switches is causing a problem...-sb. So I keep the same default run xterm command, as long as I take out the sb switch. If I put that switch in, then the xterm window won't ever appear. Again let me say that one day after a couple years it just stopped working. I made no changes that I remember but obviously something must have changed. I tried reinstalling cygwin with no luck. Any suggestions? Much appreciated, matt
